This commit extends the `compute_placement()` function in
`popovers.js` to take into account height/width of popover as well as
positioning preference. If vertical positioning is desired and the
popover fits in either 'top/bottom' positions then we don't check for
`left/right' positions. Earlier the behavior was to prefer
'left/right'positions over 'top/bottom' positions, which resulted in
the emoji picker popping incorrectly to the left.
This further improves the emoji picker by introducing two new behaviors:
1: If the cursor is at the end of the input box then pressing `right_arrow`
moves the focus down into `emoji_catalog.
2: If the currently focused emoji is the first emoji in the `emoji_catalog`
then pressing `left_arrow` moves focus back to search filter.
This never made sense to be a flag on the UserMessage table, since
it's not per-user state. And in fact it doesn't need to be in a
database at all, since it's easily computed from content anyway.
Fixes#1099.
Apparently, local rendering of previews had broken sometime in the
last few months in a refactoring that resulted in us passing a string,
rather than an object, into markdown.js.
And it works!
A couple of things still to do:
* When a device token is no longer active, we'll get HTTP status 410.
We should then remove the token from the database so we don't keep
trying to push to it. This is fairly urgent.
* The library we're using has a nice asynchronous API, but this
version doesn't use it. This is OK now, but async will be
essential at scale.
This code empirically doesn't work. It's not entirely clear why, even
having done quite a bit of debugging; partly because the code is quite
convoluted, and because it shows the symptoms of people making changes
over time without really understanding how it was supposed to work.
Moreover, this code targets an old version of the APNs provider API.
Apple deprecated that in 2015, in favor of a shiny new one which uses
HTTP/2 to meet the same needs for concurrency and scale that the old
one had to do a bunch of ad-hoc protocol design for.
So, rip this code out. We'll build a pathway to the new API from
scratch; it's not that complicated.
We'd been getting errors from APNs that appeared to say that the
device tokens we were trying to send to were invalid. It turned out
that the device tokens didn't match the "topic" (i.e. app ID) we were
sending, which was because the topic was wrong, which was because we
were using the wrong SSL cert. But for a while we thought it might be
that we were somehow messing up the device tokens we put into the
database. This logging helped us work out that wasn't the issue, and
would have helped our debugging sooner.
This brings type-checking to the last place we fetch
data from Redis, with the exception of our APNs code
which is being replaced (with a Redis-free version,
thanks to improvements in Apple's APNs API) shortly.
This gives us type-checking, to help prevent bugs like the
last couple of commits fixed in our Tornado code and our
missed-message email handling. Fortunately no behavior
changes are needed here.
Because the Redis client returns exclusively bytes -- even for
hash keys -- even on Python 3, the test `'response' in status`
was always returning false, and the line that tries to decode
as JSON was never running, so we were passing `response`
through as a `bytes` object encoding some JSON.
I'm not sure what the impact of this bug was, and in particular
whether something downstream would have fudged it to make up for
this error.
